Mud in China's Eye

Gee, it appears that the Taiwanese people don't much care for China's "anti-secession" laws.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — In one of the largest demonstrations in Taiwan's history, about a million people marched through the capital on Saturday to protest a new Chinese law that authorizes an attack on the island if it moves toward formal independence.

"Taiwan is only a small island, so we must speak out really loud to make the world hear that we are a democracy facing an evil giant," said Vivian Wang, a 38-year-old restaurant worker who traveled by bus from the southern city of Kaohsiung — about 190 miles away.

Keep in mind, folks, that the legitimate Chinese government has been in exile on the island of Formosa for more than half a century.
